do i really need a lift???

Do you want to level it ?

 

Reading this thread kind of killed it.

 

Is that a yes or no

 

Is 1.75" worth 500 big ones?

 

$220

 

you can use 5100's to gain some height in the front, you can also looking into some of the front springs available (Eibach, OME) or you can use both

 

No lift, just armor...

 

Thank you for the input guys.

 

haha! thats awesome! a prius? haha of all things.

if you have the money to get a good lift and do it right then do it, why not? but dont get it and not use it to its potential. the only reason you'd question the idea of getting one is if you arent sure what you will do once you get it. go with your gut, once you put a lift on there maybe it will inspire you to go offroading more and maybe fall in love with trail trips. never know. but just remember the more you mess with it the more your gonna work on it.

 

You could get a stock truck farther than 90% of lifted vehicles have gotten.

 

Cheapest I can get them in Edmonton is $160 each. If I order them off toytec, I still have to pay 60$ shipping then duty on top of that which is usually 10% of the total price(ask me how I know). Plus to get an alignment done is 109$, then to get springs compressed onto the body is around 30-40$ a shock. This is doing it myself, to get it done by toyota is 450$ in labour or by the people who I am buying from is 200$.

Lifes hard

 

Night, call DSM not Toytec.

You will get great customer service, a much better price ( they give a TW discount on top of the advertised price) and be supporting a company that does a lot for us!

here ya go . . . . .http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-8...stein-5100-series-ride-height-adjustable.html
thats for all 4 shocks

or for just the fronts . . . http://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-1...5100-series-front-ride-height-adjustable.html

 

You could just go OME 884 coils and shocks and buy them in Canada

 

I had a hard time "finding" a retailer of bilstein in edmonton let alone OME. I will look into it. I seem to be turning to the internet for all my truck accessories. I know you're running OME how is the ride?

And for the DSM what's the shipping times? Haha, I know from the retailer in edmonton its 4-6 weeks for god sakes!

Edit: I took a look at DSM website and it says "Not Available", must I call?

 

Lots of ARB ( OME ) dealers in Canada http://www.arbusa.com/Find-A-Dealer.aspx?online=yes

 

Sick truck! I have been thinking of going with the 255/75/17s Km2s, but I'm worried about power loss and brake problems. Was thinking of 265/70/17 duratracs instead. 255s just look so much better. Did the 255s affect your mpg/power? What front bumper are you running?

 

Only one in my area 4wheelauto or something I will give them a call. Thanks!
